The growing ties between Tehran and Moscow come as Iran has increased its military activity against Israel through attacks by its proxy groups: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
Russia is deepening its ties with global forces of destabilization, chiefly Iran, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the General Assembly on Monday. Erdan's comments came ahead of the parley Moscow is holding this week with Palestinian factions, including Hamas.
“This week, Russia will be hosting a Hamas delegation in Moscow! And not for the first time!” Erdan told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, which held a debate to mark two years to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.“Russia is one of the only places outside of the Middle East where Hamas terrorists and Houthi Jihadists are given the red-carpet treatment, even after October 7,” Erdan said.
“Russia is hosting those who are responsible for intentionally murdering babies, raping women, and burning families alive,” Erdan stated. He also added that "this meeting in Moscow is a result of something more dangerous. Russia is now deepening its ties with global forces of destabilization.”
His words underscored the shift in Israeli policy regarding Moscow since the start of the war, a conflict for which Jerusalem had initially attempted to hold a neutral line and maintain strong ties with both Russia and Ukraine.
The reason for Russian-Israeli ties cooling The growing ties between Tehran and Moscow come as Iran has increased its military activity against Israel through attacks by its proxy groups: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. It has cooled Russian-Israeli ties while strengthening those with Ukraine.
Erdan told the UNGA that “It is no secret that Hamas is merely one tentacle of Iran’s terror armies. This horde of death and destruction includes Hezbollah, the Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terror organizations. They are funded, trained, armed, and directed by Iran.”
Erdan elaborates by stating that “Iran is responsible for the attacks on American service members. Iran is behind the Houthi’s attacks on maritime trade. And it is Iran who supplies Russia with the drones that are attacking Ukrainian civilians."
This Iranian axis also includes “the Assad regime in Syria, the Kim regime in North Korea, and the Maduro regime in Venezuela," according to Erdan.
Parallels between Hamas-Israel war and Ukraine-Russia war. Israel has drawn a parallel between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s October 7 attack against its southern communities, as he referred to the Hamas-led invasion of Israel in which over 1,200 people were killed and another 253 seized as hostages.
“Both of our countries – Ukraine and Israel – are fighting a battle for our survival,” Erdan stated, underscoring that Jerusalem and Kyiv were standing strong together in solidarity while “the free world stands on the sidelines divided.”
“The State of Israel has always and will continue to remain committed to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Erdan stated.
Attacking the UN Erdan accuses the United Nations, particularly its Security Council, of failing to rise to the defense of both countries, wanting that if this continues, it risks “losing all legitimacy.”
“The Security Council is paralyzed, paralyzed in the face of violence, and the entire UN system is being held hostage by political interests,” he stressed.
The UN has instead been transformed into a “weapon against freedom and liberty.” Erdan stated.
“We, Israel and Ukraine, are the canaries in the coal mine. To the rest of the free world, I say: Wake up! Wake up!” Erdan stated.
Russia has been playing footsies with these countries long before the sanctions...
So we have PootyPoot warming up to the leaders of countries who would love nothing better than to have Putin launch nukes at us.
Hey, but it Mitch McConnell who is a bigger threat to ‘merica I was told. LOL!
—> Perhaps you should change your name to Axias of Evil
No, since you are supporting sanctions on these states, it’s time to man up and claim the results of your efforts.
Btw, it was Bush II, another globalist who used that phrase, so you are moving right along down the track with those who want to enslave the world.
You’ve chosen poorly Bert.
Always nice to see a visual of your efforts!
Thanks.
Your Kremlin Dwarf’s maliciousness and a-h behavior always provide so much material to work with
Sure. And my Canadian Dwarf's silliness and a-h behavior always provides so much reason to laugh each day!
“Axis of Evil?” Was the speaker at the UN George Bush? Maybe he could talk NATO into invading the Middle East. I mean they could always use the ol’ Neo-Con standby that “it’s in our national interest.”
And who do you think funds the Iranian mullahs? The Puppet Biden regime!
When you talk about axis of evil, you cannot ignore the Obama/Biden/Clinton axis of Satanic evil. They are the source, the center, the apex of all evil in the world concentrated in the luciferin dominion, Washington DC. It all starts there.
**********
And Netanyahu doesn’t dare point this out lest the Biden regime cut-off its funds.
Netanyahu’s policy until October 7 was to support Hamas as a wedge against Fatah in the West Bank, as a means of keeping the Palestinians politically divided. And it’s not like the nature of Hamas was somehow hidden or a secret beforehand, yet Netanyahu had deemed it necessary for Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians...until it wasn’t. So all the barking about Russia supporting an “Axis of Evil” rings hollow.
Historically speaking, even countries with similar cultures and a shared moral vision nonetheless came into conflict; how much more so, when their worldviews are diametrically opposed? Considerations thus tend to default to the pursuit of whatever the national interest is...and with Europe and America predisposed to oppose anything Russia does, why is Israel surprised that Russia turns to other countries that are opposed to Israel, given Israel’s ties with the anti-Russia West? (Nice attempt at drawing parallels between Ukraine and Israel, even though there’s few - if any - actual historical, economic, or geopolitical parallels between the UA/RU conflict and the Israel/Palestinian conflict.)
Then again, I find it somewhat ironic that Israel is accusing the UN of “losing legitimacy”, when they habitually criticize the UN and tell them to pound sand whenever they side with the Palestinians or against Israel on any given resolution.

Very nicely presented post.
Wasted on Zeepers, who have some kind of “ducks-back oil coating” that sheds facts and history instantly, but still.
Until the Jews and the Arabs, the Israelis and Palestinians, all bend the knee to Christ the King, there will be no peace in the Middle East.
True that…
But it will require Christ coming back “with a sword in His mouth” to slay His enemies.
I've learned to be completely dismissive of anyone in the U.S. government or media who uses a term like "axis of evil" to describe foreign countries or leaders.
The idea that the U.S. would be calling anyone else "evil" is comical on its face.
Not interly true, as the beast will bring a seeming peace.
To be fair, it was Israel’s Ambassador to the UN who decided to pull “Axis of Evil” from Bush 43’s lexicon.
